You can't. The data is not JSON.

You need to make sure the data is in JSON format before passing it to json_decode.

As a quick hack, you could just perform a string substitution and change "" to "\" globally, but that isn't a robust solution. There is something wrong with the underlying JSON generator that you are getting the data from and that needs to be fixed at the source (probably by switching to using a JSON library instead of smashing strings together).
